  • Finally, I have this! I've been so excited about this book, because I spend a lot of time defending and extolling the joys of language on the internet, and the creativity therein, and there's something about taking that conversation offline and into physical pages that I think will be something I can really get my teeth into. I mean, just this past week we had more excitement generated by the use of ten ellipses than virtually any punctuation used in the greatest works of detective fiction, and this is difficult to explain but very well worth trying to! . I love the pace of change and variety of language on platforms - from IRC, to LJ, to Tumblr, to TikTok, new structures and styles emerge with such incredible pace, I am dearly glad to see McCulloch's work embrace it, and I'm also excited to dive into her podcast, Lingthusiasm. Also also, I truly love this cover. . Meanwhile, if anyone has any favourite works on linguistics (any language!), I'm always curious :D Have you read this? Thoughts, feels? 💕⌨️💻 ~P . #theinternet #linguistics #becauseinternet #becausetheinternet #lifeonline #newbook #yellowbooks #bookcover #amreading #bookish #bookstagram #bibliophile #languages #igrewuponline

  • It is absolutely the opposite of cricket weather today, but when I ventured to the bookshelves to grab something for today's #bookstagram this leapt out at me...because I've no recollection of it at all, suddenly, nor of the Marlow twins, nor, indeed, of Kingscote School! Published in the 1970's, it may be that it just missed the shelves by the '80s and hadn't found their way back when I was doing the trawl of boarding school tales later on. But in all our time putting together #patcbox bundles, I don't recall - especially considering the amount of requests we get for boarding school books! So if you have received these Kingscote books, it must've been Crow, or I've developed a black hole in my recollections! Anyway - looks jolly, love a sport AND drama term! ~P . #bookish #boardingschoolbooks #70s #twins #instabooks #bookoftheday #cricketbooks #amreading #childrensbooks #childrensliterature

  • New today in the Prudence and the Crow shop is this copy of Virginia Woolf's A Haunted House and Other Stories. 1973 Penguin edition. Throughout her life, Virginia Woolf from time to time wrote short stories or a kind of sketch which stands half-way between an essay and a short story. As early as 1921 she published Monday or Tuesday, a collection of such short stories. This book soon went out of print and was not republished, but shortly before her death she decided to bring out a new volume of short stories, including most of those originally published in Monday or Tuesday. A Haunted House, published posthumously in 1944, is the book which she contemplated. It contains all the best stories from the early volume and twelve new ones. Many of them are experimental, opening new paths which she developed still further in her novels. At least three of them have been widely recognised and works of remarkable beauty and originality: 'A Haunted House', 'Kew Gardens', and 'The Mark on the Wall'. Only £6 including postage. We also have a beautiful box set of the rest of her works available.
